while many statments here are true one must remember that even the early church understood that there has to be structure and organisation for Gods message to go out properly and thus we have the church. it has never been or will never be perfect until Jesus comes back. read the epistles etc they had many problems even then.

just because there are bad people who missuse faith etc does not make religion wrong. if you go with that thought then there is nothing right religious or not because everywhere you go there are people. just a thought
